- Recent advances on the understanding of the nixtamalization process J. L. Peña F. Caballero Briones A. Iribarren R. Castro Rodriguez A. I. Oliva Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas 50 61 10 16 Bg In this work we study the effect of the nixtamalization time on the structural, morphological and thermal properties of thecorn pericarp. We also studied the semi-quantitative changes in the chemical composition of the pericarp by x-raydiffraction. By correlating the results obtained by x-ray diffraction and photoacustics we propose that nixtamalization canbe viewed as a series of physicochemical phenomena that involve hemicellulose dissolution, swelling, alkaline celluloseformation and phase transition between native and mercerized cellulose. We found consistent values for some physicalproperties of the raw pericarp 2000 artículo científico 1665-3521 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=94201006 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=942 Superficies y vacío application/pdf Sociedad Mexicana de Ciencia y Tecnología de Superficies y Materiales A.C.
